Tutoring Services: Types of Tutoring: Online Tutoring

We offer an online tutoring service called NetTutor.

Students, you can use NetTutor on a 24/7/365 basis for math and many other popular subjects. This means you can get tutoring in most subjects during and after regular campus hours!

You can access NetTutor through the myMATC portal (Students tab) or, in some cases, through your Blackboard classes.

Instructors, we have provided detailed instructions for adding a NetTutor button to your Blackboard class.

Note: We do still offer in-person tutoring in most subjects on all four campuses. Search our Tutoring Schedules to find out when and where.

• understanding the steps of the writing process,
• practicing pre-writing techniques,
• developing a thesis statement,
• constructing a logical argument,
• improving skills in proofreading and editing,
• analyzing literature, and
• building sentence skills.
